American United Life Insurance Company
One American Square
Indianapolis, Indiana 46204
In my capacity as Associate General Counsel of American United Life
Insurance Company ("AUL"), I am familiar with AUL American Unit Trust
(the "Variable Account"), which is a separate account for assets
applicable to the variable portion of group annuity contracts offered
by AUL ("Contracts").
I have made such examination of the law and examined such corporate
records and such other documents as in my judgment are necessary and
appropriate to enable me to render the following opinion.
With respect to the issuance and sale of units of beneficial interest in
the Variable Account under the Contracts for valuable consideration in
the amount of $128,297,001.65 (representing $5,751,898.73 allocated to the
AUL American Equity Investment Account, $2,965,367.22 allocated to the
AUL American Bond Investment Account, $3,787,993.31 allocated to the
AUL American Managed Investment Account, $19,881,141.82 allocated to
the AUL American Money Market Investment Account, $11,466,308.82 allocated to
the Alger Growth Account, $8,157,647.82 allocated to the Calvert Account,
$1,647,390.36 allocated to the TCI Growth Account, $6,411,516.82 allocated to
the T. Rowe Price Equity-Income Account, $5,379,402.00 allocated to the
Fidelity VIP Equity Income Investment Account, $20,256,814.46 allocated to the
Fidelity VIP Growth Investment Account, $4,303,029.45 allocated to the
Fidelity High Income Investment Account, $8,172,018.79 allocated to the
Fidelity VIP Overseas Investment Account, $9,565,329.71 allocated to the
Fidelity VIP II Asset Manager Investment Account, $6,821,234.93 allocated to
the Fidelity VIP II Contrafund Investment Account, and $13,730,907.41
allocated to the Fidelity VIP II Index 400 Investment Account issued
during the Variable Account's fiscal year ending December 31, 1996, it is
my opinion that such interests were issued in connection with Contracts
that constitute legal, validly issued and binding obligations of AUL
except as limited by bankruptcy or insolvency laws affecting the rights
of creditors generally.
I consent to the use of this letter by AUL in connection with the
Variable Account's Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 for the Variable Account's fiscal year ending
December 31, 1996.
Very truly yours,
Richard A. Wacker
Associate General Counsel
